I’M ALLISON.
I know that life can feel overwhelming. I’m here to help.
Are you struggling to find contentment in life? Do you feel like no one really understands? Perhaps you are struggling in pregnancy or postpartum, after a death, or you’ve experienced another unexpected life event. You want to be happy again, but you’re not sure how.
I strive to provide a comforting atmosphere for all of my clients: one in which you can feel welcomed, understood, and truly cared for.
I have the knowledge and skills to help you. My clients often describe feeling more free, hopeful, and relieved at the end of our work together. My goal is to help you find that same relief.
Here’s how I can help:
-
The term “perinatal” refers to the period during and after pregnancy. It is a unique time for a woman’s life, in which she can feel more vulnerable, emotional, or lost in her own identity. Symptoms during this period can be surprising or even frightening.
I’m a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C). I’m trained in the specific mental health considerations of the perinatal period. I’m passionate about caring for pregnant women and helping them navigate this unique life experience.
-
Trauma can include any deeply distressing or disturbing experience which has altered the way you function.
I’m a Certified EMDR therapist. EMDR is a unique form of therapy focused on helping your brain re-wire the trauma in order to function more effectively.
-
Through my professional work I’ve discovered that many people, women in particular, tend to feel anxious, worried, or not good enough. If any of that sounds familiar, then I want to encourage you that you’re not the only one, and this can get better. You can live a more relaxed life.
Let’s make therapy simple.
